The Technology team guided Blue Water Autonomy in a $50 million Series A funding led by GV. All existing investors, Eclipse, Riot, and Impatient Ventures, participated. This funding follows Blue Water's $14M seed round announced in April 2025, bringing the company's total funding raised to $64M. With this funding, Blue Water Autonomy will build and deploy its first long-range, full-sized autonomous ship next year.
Founded in 2024, Blue Water Autonomy is making unmanned ships a reality. Blue Water's autonomous ship design fully-integrates hardware, software, and AI allowing the vessel to operate on the open ocean for months at a time.
The Goodwin team was led by Bill Schnoor, Matthew Reardon, Patrick Sims, Harper Vincent, Daisy Ramos Garcia and Jinny Kim.
